I am writing to encourage you to vote for Mark Bess as sheriff of Owen County on Nov. 4.
He is offering his service to help make this county a better place where we can live in peace and safety. He is a man of proven integrity and is trained and experienced in law enforcement.
I ask you to give him your support and prayers.

America does not have to drift into godless communism.
Mitch McConnell as minority leader fought tirelessly President Obama’s anti-Christian destruction of the U.S. Constitution.
As majority leader, Mitch can do more than slow down implementation of President Obama’s promise to “fundamentally change” the American form of government.
As majority leader, Mitch McConnell will have the power to return America to being a constitution republic, because the majority leader decides which bills get to the floor for a vote.

To the voters of the 15th Circuit, Grant, Owen and Carroll counties:
I wish to thank all of you whole voted for me in the May primary election for circuit judge. I am honored and grateful for your support. My family and I worked hard, and a special thanks to my daughters Klaire, Alyssa, Darcy and Lauren for walking so many miles and knocking on all those doors.

I would like to announce my candidacy for re-election for mayor of the city of Owenton.
I have done what I said I would do four years ago and more.
We have resurfaced 21 streets. We have had 12 houses torn down, one of which had been condemned since 2005 plus one car garage and one small building.
We have cut our regular budget by $100,000 a year plus some salaries that were too high.
Six sections of land have been annexed into the city limits in the last 20 years that are now certified at the secretary of state.

My name is Milford Sipple and I’m announcing my candidacy for Owenton City Council.
I have lived most of my life in Owen County and have raised my family here. My eldest daughter Stacey Sipple Long is the director of the Owenton Senior Center. My youngest daughter, Robbyn Sipple Wainscott, is the accounts payable clerk for the Owen County Board of Education. I also have two grandchildren who attend the Owen County School System.

I want to encourage people to get out and vote on Nov. 4.
I agree with our Owen County Clerk Laurie Stivers that it is a shame we did not have a better turnout for the Sept. 16 election.
Now that the alcohol vote is over, I agree with you in that our community needs to focus our energy on fighting the battle on drugs in our county.
I believe one step we can take in that direction is to vote for Mark Bess for Owen County Sheriff on Nov. 2.

Chuck Tackett is a local Scott County farmer and magistrate running for state representative for the 62nd District which includes Scott and Owen counties. Without a doubt, Chuck Tackett is the most qualified man to represent us in Frankfort.
I have known Chuck for many years. He has always been a dear friend to my family, a leader among our farmers, and rock for the community as a whole.
